Washington: On Thursday, its reported that  US President Donald Trump began the year with $19.2 million in campaign cash, a war chest that gives him a head start on Democrats lining up for the chance to run against the Republican in the 2020 White House race. Trump raised $21 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, his campaign said. Unlike any other president in the modern era, Trump filed for re-election on the day he took office in January 2017, instead of waiting the traditional two years. That allowed him to raise and spend campaign cash his entire term.

While, None of the Democratic candidates have yet been required to disclose their money hauls, although US Senator Kamala Harris` campaign said she raised $1.5 million in the 24 hours after she launched her run. He is likely to fundraising by Democrats who are just beginning to build campaigns

Brock told Reuters said that "There is not going to be enough money in the system, whether its online or big dollars, to support more than six or eight candidates," He further added that "There is a disadvantage that Democrats have to raise money to fight each other first before you can raise a war chest to fight Trump."

Greg Berlin, a Democratic fundraiser at the firm Mothership Strategy, said he is confident Democrats will ultimately be able to compete with Trump`s cash levels.

More than two dozen Democrats are expected to mount a campaign in hopes of winning the party`s nomination. David Brock, a Democratic fundraiser who oversaw the largest Super PAC his party has backed, said Trump`s haul will make Democrats nervous.
